While our focus is providing treatment for women with behavioral health issues, the women we serve experience a multitude of complex social issues. In addition to treating substance use disorders and mental illness, issues like homelessness, domestic violence, and poverty are inextricably intertwined. 92% of the women we serve report having experienced Trauma in their lives, many from an early age.

In fiscal year 2015-2016, St. Monica’s served 288 women in one or more of our 7 programs. They ranged in age between 17-62 with an average age of 31.

Individuals with Behavioral Health issues often have a difficult time maintaining employment. With limited or no advanced education, the jobs our women are able to secure pay minimum wage with no benefits. Of the women we served in 2015/2016, 80% were unemployed at admission with 91% earning less than $10,000 annually.
Earning power also impacts access to safe and affordable housing which is demonstrated in the following statistic: 36% of the women we served last year were either homeless, in a shelter, or in a treatment/recovery institution with no permanent housing in place.
